Police are appealing for witnesses to a mass street fight in Harlesden which has left a man fighting for his life after he was hit by two cars.

The 27-year-old victim was hit by a car and thrown on its bonnet before falling off and hit by a second vehicle in the High Street during the brawl.

Detectives investigating the incident on September 6 at around 3.30am believe between 15 and 20 men were fighting in the street near the Chicken Cottage shop close to The Cleopatra Lounge club.

The men in the Ford Focus registration number BF14 FDN abandoned the car and fled on foot.

Police have seized the car.

The victim is in a critical condition in hospital.
